3 And being in Bethany in the house of Simon the leper, as He sat at meat, there came a woman having an alabaster box of ointment of spikenard very precious; and she brake the box, and poured it on His head.
4 And there were some that had indignation within themselves, and said, “Why was this waste of the ointment made?”
5 “For it might have been sold for more than three hundred pence, and have been given to the poor.” And they murmured against her.
6 And Jesus said, “Let her alone; why trouble ye her? She hath wrought a good work on me.”
7 “For ye have the poor with you always, and whensoever ye will ye may do them good: but me ye have not always.”
8 “She hath done what she could: she is come aforehand to anoint My body to the burying.”
9 “Verily I say unto you, Wheresoever this gospel shall be preached throughout the whole world, this also that she hath done shall be spoken of for a memorial of her.”
